Sunday treats us to four Premier League matches before the second international break of the season is thrust upon us.

First up, we make our way to Old Trafford as United welcome struggling Stoke City.

With a single goal in the last four rounds of fixtures, Zlatan Ibrahimovic ended as runner-up in captain poll with just under 22% of the votes csat.

The big Swede warmed up for this one by netting the Europa League winner against Zorya on Thursday night, though another failure to deliver is likely to spark significant sales over the next fortnight.

Ibra was sold by more Fantasy Premier League managers than any forward last week, in spite of today’s plum fixture.

Marcus Rashford, meanwhile, has been subject to significant transfers in after netting in three of the last four league fixtures.

Up against a Potters defence that shipped 15 goals in their first six, the duo look the men most likely as Jose Mourinho seeks to build on the back of last week’s 4-1 home win over champions Leicester City.

Both sides make no changes from their Gameweek 6 starting XIs this lunchtime, with Wayne Rooney once again warming the Red Devils’ bench.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    We know Shaqiri is a great player, but is he good for FPL?

    Shaqiri hasn't been able to replicate his Swiss form.

    Arnie clearly the better option right?

    2. Tansey

  21. Debauchy
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ok lads , can start crawling out , but no rush hey

  22. Hyperion
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Oh my God that corner from Rooney

  23. Hendomania
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Looking at Shot Stats:

    Man Unt 23 shots - 9 on target.
    Stoke 7 shots - 6 on target.

    Not watching the game - who's responsible for the 16 shots off target that would have broken down those attacking moves?

    1. SamH123
      10 years, 1 month ago

      9 on target out of 23 is a fairly normal, if not decent proportion.

    2. Scholes Balls
      10 years, 1 month ago

      herera had like 6 off target

  24. Everyday im Schneiderlin
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. Make United Great Again
      10 years, 1 month ago

  27. Chucky
    10 years, 1 month ago

    10 years, 1 month ago
